How would you do this?

I found this scarf somewhere, don't remember where now. and thought it looked cool. I know it's knit, and that's all I know. It looks like maybe some drop stitches? But I'd really like to make one but can't find a pattern anywhere that's similiar.

Hell I don't know, I'm not a knitter but I play one on TV. I didn't expect to be quizzed on this, and aren't all exams usually given on Friday? I can't wait for xmas vacation to begin. I've seen patterns with drop stitches in them, I just dont' do them because it goes against what I was taught. It's the Hardanger of the knitting world.

It's seafoam stitch pattern on a garter base and ignia's basically explained it. "YO2", "YO3" and the like just mean that you wrap the yarn around the needle the specified number of times. When you work those YO's later, you only work into the first loop and then let the remaining loops fall off the needle, so that you've got one really long stitch (with YO3 being a longer stitch than YO 2, so that you get that opening effect).
